Michigan congressman Tim Walberg does believe in climate change but he’s not convinced mere mortals can do anything about it, feeling instead that a better course of action is to rely on the power of the almighty.

“I believe there’s climate change. I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time,” the congressman said during a Coldwater town meeting last Friday. Walberg didn’t specify what he believed to be the beginning of time.

He continued, “I think there are cycles. Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No,” he said categorically.

Walberg then elaborated on his beliefs: “Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.”

Some of Walberg’s audience grumbled in seeming dissatisfaction, though at least one man can be heard saying, “That’s right.”
